"It isn't that I mean to lie; it's that I want to avoid the conversation that will immediately ensue if I don't."
"I assure my daughters I eat vast quantities of fruits, vegetables, salmon and chicken. There is rarely any mention of my consumption of popcorn, rum raisin ice cream or pistachios."
"Sometimes, my disorderly eating leads to the need for Alka-Seltzer, but I keep a supply on hand for such occasions."
"I also lie - not only by indirection but also by omission - about the frequency of my accidents. They include tripping over, stumbling into, brushing against, and, worst of all, falling all the way down."
